Political donations above $500 should be taxed at 50%. At least.
Wanna spend $100,000,000 buying an election. You gotta pay the irs $100,000,000 too. No exceptions. No loopholes. No getting away with it. If you try, instant audit.
You have a lot of upvotes for the math being so wrong. Lol. 100% tax would still just mean it costs twice as much to buy an election. Just ban the shit.
Here’s an idea.

Nah, better just use the extra cash to bail out some more banks

I mean, we have to pay gift tax if we give more than $13.61 million to a person. I thought corporations (PACs) are people now.

Citizens United is the 2nd worst thing that’s ever happened to this country. (The first was Reagan)
That’s the best idea I’ve seen on this topic.
